About Quattro Umsebenzi Ophambili: Isitiya Esikrelekrele Sangaphakathi

Umbhalo Wencwadi: I-Quattro sisitiya esikrelekrele sangaphakathi sokukhulisa izityalo ekhaya. Uyilo lunemiqolo emithathu: isiseko samanzi esenziwe ngodongwe olucwecwedwe, izitya ezine zodongwe olubomvu olungacwecwedwanga, kunye nesibane sokukhulisa esibekwe kwifreyimu yensimbi. Amanzi ahamba ngokucothayo edlula kudongwe olubomvu olunemingxunya emincinci, ngoko iingcambu zithatha kuphela isixa esizifunayo. Le ndlela ilandela i-olla, ubuchule bokunkcenkceshelisa bamandulo, kwaye ivumela ukuzimela kwamanzi ixesha elingange veki ezimbini. Isibane sisebenzisa ii-LED zokukhulisa izityalo (horticultural light emitting diodes) ezinetayimara emiselwe iiyure ezilishumi elinesibini zivuliwe kwaye iiyure ezilishumi elinesibini zivaliwe. Ubume buphefumlelwe ziityalo ezikhusekileyo zamagumbi asemakhaya angcwele exesha lamaphakathi.

Unique Properties: Quattro is a ceramic smart garden with the best light for plants.
We use an ancestral and very effective and 100% natural irrigation system, the “OLLA”. The oldest known traces were found in China 4,000 years ago. Ancient Rome also used this technique. Thanks to the use of micro-porous terracotta, the roots draw the quantity of water necessary for their needs. In this way, the water shock is avoided and plant growth is harmonious. In addition, reduction in water consumption with a water autonomy of up to 2-3 weeks.
In addition, Quattro is provided of a special Grow lamp with an integrated timer that reproduces sun sequence.
With this eco smart garden you can literally grow almost every type of plants indoor with a GREEN technology.
